Just a thought.

Not to add further gasoline to this discussion, but it appears to be pretty much universal to lock the classrooms, get down, call 9/11, and pray that the SWAT team gets there before the shooters do. Based on assembly and drive times, I make that at least 30 minutes at our current schools. That has been the school policies at the five schools my kids have attended.
So far, I'd say that is an iffy proposition, at least for the victims.
I personally think a Beslan scenario is coming, and the school policy plays right into the hands of the bad guys.
OTOH, we have the right to disagree, and ultimately bear the responsibility for our decisions.
